Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart. Oud Malaki is a bold, divisive beast that'll get noticed - for better or worse. It’s got that strong Middle Eastern vibe, so if you're not into potent oud, steer clear. Otherwise, prepare for a statement.
This one's a proper dark horse. Crysta Oud takes a classic rose-oud combo and gives it a modern twist that manages to be both familiar and surprising. It's a challenging wear for some, a hidden gem for others, but rarely boring.
